How do encryption and key management (KMS) work in secure architectures?
Answer
Encryption protects data at rest and in transit.
Key management best practices:
- Use KMS for key storage and rotation
- Use envelope encryption
- Restrict key access and audit usage
Keys are the real asset: protect them with least privilege and strong monitoring.
